Five-Year-Old Child with Pneumonia, Previous Antibiotics Unsuccessful and Caused Allergic Reaction, What to Do?

Question

My five-year-old child has pneumonia. The previous antibiotics prescribed by the doctor, including the oral liquid, the pediatric Huangqin Qingxin powder, the Cefaclor dry suspension, and the Ibuprofen cell repair capsules, have had no effect, and even caused an allergic reaction. What should I do?

Answer

If the child’s coughing is severe and there is no improvement despite continuous medication, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a check-up. At this age, a child with pneumonia may require intravenous treatment. Additionally, if allergic symptoms have appeared, it is necessary to discontinue the allergic medication and coordinate with anti-allergy treatment. These are the suggestions for the question regarding “A five-year-old child with pneumonia who did not improve after taking the previous doctor-prescribed antibiotics.” I hope this helps you. Wishing you good health!
